Pickering’s Original 1947 70cl 42%

Description

Made to the original Pickering's Gin recipe recorded in India in 1947 the nine botanicals are juniper, coriander, cardamom, fennel, anise, lemon, lime, cloves and cinnamon (in place of the angelica used in regular Pickering's).

Tasting Notes

Nose

Dried lime peels at first, though it soon enough develops a core of chopped green herbs.

Palate

Soft and creamy, and quite Christmas-y too! Cinnamon, clove and fruit notes result in an almost mince pie-like flavour profile.

Finish

Remains festively sweet, with a crackle of peppery juniper right on the tail.
